Former Wakefield MP Imran Ahmad Khan has lost an appeal against his conviction for sexual assault.
Khan, who was Conservative MP for Wakefield from 2019 until his resignation in April, was jailed for 18 months in May after he was found guilty of assaulting a 15-year-old boy at a house in 2008.
He had denied the allegation.
The 49-year-old challenged his conviction at the Court of Appeal last month.
On Monday, the appeal was rejected with judge Michael Sweeney saying he had “no doubt” that Khan’s trial was fair and his conviction was safe.
